Beginning of an idiot.fart from a xenophobic kook, you mean...

listen, mother fucker, meet me in the middle of the street and say
that.  those astronauts are hardly bolt junkies, chump!

My, what a particularly clever and cogent retort. How masterfully you
refuted every point! Such style! Such bitiing wit! Why, I iz cut to da kwik,
iz I...

He got you chickened out, didn't he?  You ever thought of being a
space station astronaut, Hans?  You would fit right in, fella, after
you dropped, what I well imagine, is an extra 75 pounds or so!

Wow, you really told me this time, boy, howdy!

Such style! Suck wit! Such well crafted prose and pithy bon mots! Such
inescapable logic and carefully crafted rhetoric!

I particularly enjoyed how you cleverly you quoted even the sig file,
allowing it to speak for itself rather than muddying up things with a
traditional inline response, or anything else providing a clue as to
context...

snicker

So, your point, genius, is over there in Subliteratemoronville, one must
weight 85 lbs or less to be an astronaut? Or is your point that you're a
moron?

FYI, the 1st seems a bit dubious, but the 2nd comes through loud and
clear...

Erm, surely these two had already done a lot of familiarisation on the
ground in case of this contingency  as even then  they all knew there might
be a problem.

I don't get all the whinging.

*beginning of a telling, and chilling, excerpt from the article, for
fair use and public knowledge

The lone American on board, Gregory Chamitoff, was inside the Soyuz
for the entire six-hour spacewalk in case an emergency required the
two Russians to join him in the capsule. Chamitoff took books, music
and a laptop computer with him to while away the time, and could hear
everything that was going on.

*end         of exce rpt from the article, for fair use and public
knowledge

Yeah, the American just got to hang around inside and wile away inside
the Space Staton, while others did the real work.  Sure, some might
argue that it was the Russians' work to do, since it was their space
vehicle, but that argument would seem a bit infantile and vain.- Hide quoted text -

However as a matter of idle interest. Note that one doesn't have to be
of Anglo Saxon origin like Smith or McGee to be a United Statesian.
One can be a Chamitoff and be United Statesian. Which might be a
detail that just might subliminally affect the other two cosmonauts.
